wp_update_site_settings

Description

Use this tool to update core WordPress settings. Your AI can change the site title, tagline, admin email, timezone, date/time format, and reading settings (such as homepage display and posts per page). It will read current settings first to avoid overwriting fields you didn't intend to change.
